What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Hello I am in Minnesota and i am having an arguement with the electric company.
What happened is a goofy situation.
Me and a couple of friends moved in with our friends brother (its a rental town house).
The friends brother put the electric bill in his name. About 6 months later he moved out but had done 2 things.
1. Put us on a "budget billing" system so there was a remaining balance on the account. This stopped him from being able to transfer the account out of his name until the balance was settled (like $800)0
2. He forgot to make a payment when he left and the months later the account went into default.
So now we are faced with our power being shut off but the responsibility for this was on him and none of our names were on the account. When they tried to collect they contacted our land lord, were given our names as current residence and now without our permission we are being added to an account with a default balance of almost $1000 dollars.
Can i sue them for faulty use of my name and setting up an account i didnt ask for?
